I’m fundraising to help my friend, Alex, bring home the remains of their cat, Meatball.

Meatball was a 5-year-old Sphinx cat who was rescued from a neglectful situation. She had no teeth, a sleepy gaze, and a deeply loving and trusting personality.

Meatball was the kind of cat who would sit on your lap for hours. She befriended everyone she met and was a calming presence for those who got to know her. She loved curling up in blankets, sleeping with her dad, Alex, and climbing T boys like trees.  

Meatball died of heart failure on Friday morning. She is survived by Alex, Kiki, and her sister, Matzo Ball. We’re hoping to raise $1,200 so Alex can grieve in peace without the weight of the vet and cremation bill.
